Is LASIK a safe and permanent option?

Myopia is caused by an elongated eyeball or a curved cornea, leading to blurry vision. Genetics and environmental factors contribute to its development. Lifestyle changes and treatments like atropine eye drops and orthokeratology lenses can slow its progression. LASIK surgery is effective in correcting myopia, but the newly launched SILK technique offers advantages in safety and recovery. LASIK involves reshaping the cornea with an excimer laser, while SILK is a flapless procedure.
